A few hours after John Prine picked up three Grammy Award nominations comes word of his upcoming visit to northeast Wisconsin.

The 72-year-old singer-songwriter will stop by the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center in downtown Appleton on May 24.

Prine is among the most beloved songwriters working, having put together a career of nearly 50 years. He's a member of both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. A two-time Grammy Award winner, he also has been enshrined in the Recording Academy's Grammy Hall of Fame. He put out his first new album of original songs in more than a decade, "The Tree of Forgiveness," earlier this year.

Tickets for the show start at $63.50 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Dec. 14 at ticketmaster.com, 800-982-2787 and at the Fox Cities PAC box office.

"The Tree of Forgiveness" earned three Grammy Award nominations this morning: One in the Best Americana Album category and two for Best American Roots Song ("Knockin' On Your Screen Door" and "Summer's End," both from "Tree of Forgiveness").

The May performance will be the second for Prine at the Fox Cities PAC. He performed at the then-four-year-old venue in 2006. He more recently played the Meyer Theatre in Green Bay in 2014.
